21/4/2007 - Saturday

Ball of such size?? hurts?!

Ball of such size travel at about 300 ft/s (90 m/s) and getting hit with a paintball usually stings and leaves a welt or bruise on the skin?! In short, getting hit from far away hurts less than getting hit at close range, (Believe me!) because of wind resistance on the paintball and getting hit can hurt more if the ball does not break and instead bounces. A paintball can break exposed skin, which is why it is recommended that all skinarea are covered with some kind of cloth. <>

Generally adrenaline surging through your body during a paintball match makes the pain fade quickly then when you are sitting down catching your breath, you will be wondering why it hurts now!

INITIALLY…
Since a week ago, we all planned to have a all guys outing to cameron. ( Ah… is not brokeback Mount >.< ) but we ended up having one of the craziest time that Saturday morning!

Gary came all the way from penang just to join us for the game and we are glad that he make it on Friday night. Everyone was so eager to get shot especially Alan! Haha~ the word "BATTLE SCAR" was the only few words that he kept on uttering since PAGI.

The Morning Before Action!
PIG!! Everyone is still hibernating at 8:00am and since the appointment is 10:00am! But still everyone rushed to get prepared. Everyone wore double layer beneath our … ahem… HAHAHA~ We had our breakfast to pump up our energy because we will be using lots of it. Alan & kenny is the veteran among us because they played the game before and soon after our breakfast we headed to Desa Water Park first to wait for Jacob to lead us to our final destination.

Since 1998, Desa WaterPark has been operating for almost eighth years now. It is just a few minutes drive from my place. Haha~ It is the only waterpark located within the Kuala Lumpur City limits, it is easily accessible from most parts of the city. The park offers wholesome family entertainment and because of its features it is also an ideal location for hosting gatherings and family day. It's main attraction is "The Thunderbolt",

Asia's longest uphill family water coaster and it also houses Malaysia's awesome wavepool. It is now mooted as an ideal entertainment spot catering for the family segment and corporate group function.

Feel free to drop by if you feel like getting a dip!

Soon after half pass 9am, Jacob arrived and we are heading off the TT sports.

TT Sports Park, wholly-owned by TT Sports Sdn Bhd, is one of the most popular paintball venues in the Klang Valley and in Malaysia.

The company was established in 2001, after being granted the proper licenses from government agencies. Located on a 7.8 acres park in Subang Jaya, they have built 5 playing fields, two are tournament sized fields, while the other 3 are recreational fields which is also known as jungle courts. It is being acknowledged as the largest paintball park in Malaysia by the Malaysia Book of Records.

11:35am - Clocks Ticking
The preparation is ready.

Camouflage and helmets ready, serious paintballer on a mission

No vest!!!

The weather is tremendously good!

The scouting & plot

Kenny & gary were thinking of tactics & plot for the matches but....

The game begins!!!
I didn't took much pic after that, most of my time was spend on the field getting shot at. Ahaha~ however, I manage to take one picture of kenny being head shot by our opponent in one of our match while I'm sitting out. Sad to say that we lost all of the matches because we are still amatuer and out opponent were pros (not amatuer) !

We are like REAL human target PRAcTICE! Ahahaha..

The game lasted for 4 hours with breaks in between and YESH, theres some war casualties, a girl got 2 straight shot at close distance and it costed her two severe bruise on her tigh and blood clocked on the wounds. Phew~ lucky me I didn’t got any of that. We all had our bruise here and there of cos. Gary was the one who experienced multiple head shot counted in the game ( most of the match - he was shot at the helmet ) bwhahahaha~ cos he likes popping his head out. Ahahaha~

The sports is kinda expensive but for leisure and recreational, it is awesome! However, we didn’t manage to try out the jungle courts because no one wanted to try it out due the heavy down pour last night that caused the field to be wet n muddy. I would LOVE to DO that!

Yesterday 15/04/2007 - Sunday

Bright and shinny! 'Datuk' Sun stretches his golden fingers across the horizon touching every single living thing on earth. The day started a bit late for me, I woke up at approximately 8:45pm and with some plus minus of reluctancy to wake up - ACTUAL time - 9:30am.

The EYES!

Yesh, I was planning to visit the eye~ "MATA MALAYSIA" this morning or later part in noon cos "IT’S A BEAUTIFUL day" to get sun burn. Ahahaha~

Initially I had in mind that there will be totally nothing up my sleeves for the rest of the day, I might just hang around mid valley AGAIN! Same goes for my housemate who are still sleeping regardless of what happening around them which they are still wondering with their sleeping beauty (wet their pants? >.<) Well, one of them woke up the instance I finish my early buiness in the loo.

SLACKerS~
Boredom creeped in while playing METAL SLUG with jacky. Alan joined next watching us having fun with watering tears filled eye balls T.T Its was almost 11am that we planned to get our balls going. We clothed and follows by series of mad laugh when we saw jacky coming ou from his room wearing something that anyone would felt melting from inside under the 33 degree C of sun blaze above your head.

IF … If I would have the chance in near future >.<

London eyes - night perspective

From back when the Romans pitched up at the start of the millennium but one, right up to 1999, London has served its millions of visitors badly when it comes to offering a platform from which to view the great city.

London eyes - day perspective

But the British Airways sponsored London Eye, billed as the world's highest observational wheel, has changed all that. The Eye stands a whopping 135 metres high on the South Bank between Waterloo and Westminster Bridges, right opposite Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament and provides stunning views over central London and beyond.

London eyes - gondola perspective

Visitors are treated to a gently paced half-hour ride in space age capsules holding 25 people each, hopping on and off as the wheel moves. An increasingly popular idea is to visit the Eye at night time when the view is perhaps at its most magical.

It is well worth booking tickets in advance as tickets are not always available on the day and even if they are, the queues can be EXTREMELY daunting.

Yesh, finally we are here!~

Let the picture do the talking instead~

Reach Titiwangsa approximately 1130pm. From afar, we saw the eye and behind it is the Dewan kebudayaan. Experience a breathtaking 360 degree panorama over 20 kilometres of Kuala Lumpur. Hopefully it will be an unforgettable ride of up to 30 minutes to a height of 60 metres. There are 40 gondolas with a capacity of six passengers for each gondola.

We dragged ourselves towards our destination and it was kinda tough and it is quite a distance due to shortage of car parks and we parked the car quite a distance from where we and the weather is phew~ HOT!

Finally!

Alan goofying around before the ride

phew~ we are the shade. cooling down bit from the hot sun, but the queue is killing me softly. haha.

The ticket booth

Ticket price

It was quite a long queue

Yesh! We got our boarding pass!

The long queue for the ride

huRRay! our RIDE!

To beyond and infinity!

Below us is the path where we came, entrance to titiwangsa for tourist and everyone.

Clear blue sky

Petronas Twin Tower

End of the Ride T.T

Time flies when I looked back the moment when we first arrived our destination and indeed good times passes with just a blink of an eye.A second ago we were laughing our lungs to some foolish act Alan pull, a second after we are preparing to set back home from our destination.

Every second in our lives counts, the moment I choose to blog today it took me 1/2 hr to finish one post. Is this 1/2 hr a contribution to any better for myself or my future?

Sometimes life can be a pitch black hole and you just can't help from being suck inside the darkness without seeing any light. It can be like a lighting post on the street.

The banner on it would significantly represent who you wanted to become and achieve in life. If you are outstanding enough, you might outshine the others, you might drew some attention from passer-by and who knows? It might be your big-break, your breakthrough but some may just be there for the rest of their life.

Is time to go home...

Last Week…

It was holy week for THE catholic community and christian including for myself. For singaporean, they eventually had their time off during Good Friday as it was a public hol. As For me, I had to applied leave AND not FOR the whole day but for a half day in the noon only due to some unforseen circumstances -"Meet the client"- session in the morning and it lasted till 2pm since 10am on that particularly morning.

The day was long after the meeting. I went back straight after the meeting at North Point, Mid Valley. Luckily theres no jam or anything that obstructs my URGE to quickly go back home to take a 'mandi kerbau' & a nap before going to attend Good Friday Service at 8pm in Good Sheperd Church, Setapak.

The mass ended around 10pm and I had my late dinner with my family.

That goes my Friday…

Easter SUNDAY ~~~ FOOD!!! Duh??

Anyone try the famous fish head noodles at Taman Desa, Old Klang Road?

It's called Ho A One Seafood Steamboat. This place is steamboat by night and fish head noodle by day. It's rather near the Sri Kota supermarket. Turn into the road next to Shell Station and it is somewhere on the left at the shophouses opposite the condos. It is a corner lot behind a mamak named Jalar.

The coffeeshop only serves fish head noodles. The crowd is very consistent, you'll have to wait for tables during lunch time & be prepared to wait at least 40 mins for the food.

The soup is cooked with right taste, not too creamy as generally found from other stalls. With the salted vege, it provides slight sourish taste to the soup. Added with tomatoes, it's just turned out to be excellent...served with generous portion of fresh fish fillets (fried), with at least 6-7 pieces if you order a big bowl. Cost you RM7.50 for a big bowl...check it out!

Rawang!

The day follows by act of "headless chicken goofying around" to look for ways to my colleague place at Rawang to visit him as well as to negotiate about jack's new car.

yesh, indeed it was a headless chicken ordeal. It took at 2 hours to reach there. Haha~

The day ended up later at night when we had our dinner in mid valley. Initially the plan was having our stomach filled with sushi at sushi king but we ended up at kentucky. Soon after the dinner, we went for video & music browsing at speedy. Ah ya, I found a movie which is very nice that I think I should introduce to you all if you havent get your hand on one.

It is based on the true story of a Japanese girl named Kito Aya, who had the same disease. She kept writing in her diary to remember her experiences until she could no longer hold a pen. Aya simply wished to live until the end of her life, and the purpose of writing in the diary was to remind herself to not give up. She shed tears many times, at the same time encompassed by the rich love and support from her love ones.

Her diary “1 Litre of Tears” was published after her death, because of its inspiring and courageous message of, “Just being alive is such a lovely and wonderful thing.” Over 18,000,000 copies of her diary have been sold.

I hope you guys will love this movie as much as I did!
